Hi Francesco, RedHat/IBM decided to deprecate ceph-ansible in CEPH 5 (Pacific) in favor of CEPHADM: https://github.com/ceph/ceph-ansible/commit/a9d1ec844d24fcc3ddea7c030eff4cd6... On Tue, May 20, 2025 at 10:04 AM Joel McLean <joel.mclean@micron21.com> wrote:
G’day Francesco,
Over the last year we stood up an Openstack using Kolla-ansible, with storage provided by a few Ceph clusters, which we provisioned using cephadm.
We’ve also used ProxmoxVE and PVE-ceph, and well as PVE + cephadm; the modern cephadm process is just too easy, and is fairly well documented.
Integration of external ceph with kolla-ansible is also very well documented, although is pretty agnostic to how Ceph itself is deployed.
Kind Regards,
Joel McLean

Thank you,
I'd read it, but as there also are other methods such as ceph-ansible and puppet-ceph I am trying to get a feedback from other operators about their experiences, as in this case I'm particularly interested in integration of CEPH with OpenStack
Best regards

Hi Francesco,
The CEPH community recommends using CEPHADM as the primary tool for deploying CEPH: https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/install/#recommended-methods

Hi all,
we're planning (finally) to setup a CEPH cluster to be used as OpenStack backend.
The cloud is actually set up with Foreman+Puppet, to setup CEPH what would you advice?
cephadm as it's the preferred method in the CEPH docs or Puppet with the puppet-ceph module, as it's part of openstack?
Thanks in advance
